A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Hello and welcome to yet another wonderful and exciting day of F1 news. Here you'll catch the top stories of the day: It's F1 LIVE!
Massive Crashes Shake Up 24 Hours of Nürburgring
Sunday morning at the Nürburgring delivered chaos. The #300 Dacia and #74 Aston Martin collided hard, Martin Kaffka and Aris Balanian behind the wheel, creating a wreck that forced the field to tiptoe through debris. That alone would've been enough drama, but it didn’t stop there.
Race leader Kevin Estre, in the leading Porsche, clipped a backmarker, the Aston Martin GT4 driven by Rolf Scheibner, sending the car flipping off the track. Scheibner was taken for precautionary medical checks but is reportedly okay. Just another brutal reminder of how quickly things can go wrong in endurance racing.

Verstappen Unwinds in Saint-Tropez Before Red Bull's Home Race
Max Verstappen spent his mid-season break in Saint-Tropez, recharging with partner Kelly Piquet, their daughter Lily, and Kelly’s daughter Penelope. Photos from their getaway show Max paddleboarding off his superyacht while Kelly snaps pics and their dog Nino tags along. The Dutchman skipped a family event in Monaco — a gender reveal for Kelly’s brother, Nelson Piquet Jr. — to stay locked in on his F1 duties at Spa.
Next stop: Austria. The Red Bull Ring is Verstappen territory, and with McLaren ahead in the title fight, he’ll be aiming to bounce back hard. The time to relax is over. Now it’s about clawing back into the championship fight on home ground.
